LAFAYETTE -- Freshman Kate Wall took first in two events (100 butterfly, 400 free), Hannah Morse won the 200 IM and the Mountain View High School girl's swim team posted a season-best score Friday in a 103-67 dual loss at Centaurus. In addition to Wall and Morse, the Mountain Loins also got a solid day from Brianna Utley, who posted season-bests with a pair of third-place finishes in the 50 and 100 free.

Centaurus is home to one of the rare short-course meter pools and doesn't have touch pads or a scoreboard, but that didn't stop MVHS coach Nicole Bird from recognizing all the positives.

"It throws the girls off a little bit," said Bird, whose team also the 200 medley relay. "But when it all boils down, I think they swam well."
